lyrics

A Bitter Pill (Wasted Days and Silent Nights)
Words by Don Pitz
Music by Joel Pirard, Jeff Kalmar, John Curtin, and Arno Tietje

I fell asleep today got myself in deep today
I wake and then I find all this time been driving blind
I fell asleep to dream woke up where I shouldn't have been
I crawled into a wall bumped my head
and fell that's all

Warm wind blows Thanksgiving Eve, walking down the streets of dreams
A wonderous night that ends too soon hansom cabs and limp balloons
Remember our next Halloween, met underdog and closet queens
how we turned on New Years Eve
sleeping pills and wild turkey

Cold Mornings Bitter Days
Summer Sun turned violet haze
A cold morning New years Day
angry words turned violent rage
A bitter pill I swallow whole
winter wind and violent cold
Sad letter that I write
wasted days and silent nights

Future promise filled with hope, now with nothing left to show
like shadows on a silver screen
'the great escape' and Steve McQueen
I fell into a dream, startled woke up with a scream
lift my head to look around
found the path to where I'm bound (and)

As time goes on and on the tale is told the race has run
the lesson's learned to find the battle nearly won

Calm the voice that rules the night
dragging darkness to the light
stalled plans life put on hold
brightest dreams turned rust from gold
a Bitter Pill to swallow whole
winter wind and violent cold
It's a new song that I write
(I wish you) peaceful days and silent nights
